Frequently Asked Questions

Credit Courses are courses taken at GPRC that work towards a Certificate, Diploma or University Transfer program.
This will also include Academic Upgrading, Transitional Vocational, Apprenticeship and Pre-Employment programs. The individual courses have a CREDIT attached to them. ex. PY1040 (3 credits)

Continuing Education Classes are classes that are designed for Work and Community.
This means that they DO NOT work towards a GPRC program in the Certificate, Diploma or University Transfer programs. ex. H2S01

Credit Students FAQ

If you have a 7-digit Student ID number from GPRC, request your account here. You'll need your 7-digit Student ID, legal name and birth date. After you fill out the form, your account will be created and a password will be mailed to your personal email account that was on your application. Your Student ID is your myGPRC username.

Your myGPRC account is used to access your timetables, grades, admissions and financial information. This is also where you will register in courses for most programs. You will get access to your myGPRC account
as soon as your application is processed. Your myGPRC account does not expire and remains active even after you are no longer a student at GPRC.

While you're registered in an active course, you will be given a second account to access the On-Campus Computer/Moodle/Email account. Access to these services expire when your courses are finished.

Both accounts have the same username, your 7-digit student ID, but initially will have different passwords. To change passwords or set them to be the same, see How do I change my password FAQ.

These accounts only exist during active course registrations. For continuing students, your On-Campus Computer Lab/Moodle/Email account will NOT be deactivated
as you move from one academic year to the next. For new students, your accounts will be created at the end of August. After Sept 1st, accounts will be created within 24 hours of registration.

You can see the status of your account here. You'll need to be logged into your myGPRC first. If your account is active, you can also reset your password from that page.

When your account is first created, the default password will be your birthdate in the format yyyyMmmdd (i.e. 1996Sep07). You should change this password as soon as possible, and you can do that here.

You'll need to be logged in to myGPRC to access information about either of your accounts.
